Fonds consists of administrative and other records of the Ontario Association of Archivists (OAA) and its successor, the Archives Association of Ontario (AAO). Included are minutes of annual general meetings and executive meetings, annual reports, financial statements, correspondence of executive members, and records arising from various outreach programs (including advisory services, conferences, workshops, and other projects). The fonds also contains records relating to the Archival Needs Survey conducted by the Ontario Association of Archivists, with the cooperation of the Ontario Council of Archives, in 1986 - 1987.

The Ontario Association of Archivists was formed in 1982 following discussions among members of the Toronto Area Archivists Group, the Eastern Ontario Archivists Association, and other regional associations; it was disbanded in 1993 upon the formation of the Archives Association of Ontario.

The Archives Association of Ontario was established in 1993 as a result of the amalgamation of the Ontario Association of Archivists and the Ontario Council of Archives.
